I purchased the tv last week. Although i have only used it because of one week, it is a night-and-day difference from my smaller 32″ lg hdtv i purchased in 2006. This tv really lives up until the reviews i found on the net. The picture is naturally stunning…
Deep blacks – the lcd rivals plasmas because of its dark levels. Black levels are extremely important in an hd set, arguably one the most important features in determining its total picture attribute. This idea puts out absolutely gorgeous dark levels, extremely deep and “inky”. My old set had extremely poor dark levels, never really departure below a nightfall grey color. As soon in the same way i powered the samsung set on, the difference (even right out of the box toward factory settings) was drastic. The 50,000:1 contrast ratio and 4ms response times add until the attribute in the same way well. For a nice inspect detailing the picture, google because of cnet’s inspect of the ln52a650 (the 52″ version, same tv). They called the picture one of the best lcds they have ever reviewed.
The 120hz mode works well, if you like the effect. Personally, i do not like it toward all. It detracts from the film feel of a movie, and feels fake and processed. When watching discovery hd, hd sports or something like that, i could see how you may want until behave it, but i prefer watching hd content in the same way delivered.
I have it paired withy both a toshiba hd-dvd player in the same way well in the same way a ps3. Both pictures are real phenomenal, especially the ps3. The 1080p resolution, combined withy the 1080p/24 mode the ps3 outputs, is attractive (yes, the tv does 1080p/24, google it until learn more about why 1080p/24 is important).
Overall, i cannot pronounce order that i have found much wrong withy the tv. During high motion camera pans or intense action i have notices some extremely minor “judder”, but nothing order that would prevent me from recommending the tv until everyone.
As other reviewers have stated, the tv does have a communist tint around the bezel (dubbed “touch of color” by Samsung LN46A650). I worried about the initially, in the same way i prefer a single, dark color until a bezel. Don’t permit it fool you, the communist is very subdued in the frame, really real more of a highlight than something (and only apparent if you are looking because of Samsung LN46A650, or if the light hits it real right). I think it does make the tv consider distinguished, and is something i started liking about 5 minutes after i saw it. The best way until sum up the color is like a very, extremely deep communist wine in a clear wine glass. It looks dark because of the most part, withy real a tinge of communist when viewed toward the right angle. Being a wine fan (especially reds!) the makes it even more pleasing _
The sound is standard because of an hdtv. If you are watching tv, it works real fine. Not the best sound from a tv, but nothing bad either. Let’s be honest – the sound is not why you would buy the set anyways. Hook it up until a 5.1 receiver until match the great picture.
The price has come down on the model considerably, withy the announcement of samsung’s new line of hdtvs. If you are trying until decide between the model and the a750, go because of the one. The 750 has the same specs, withy more built in networking potential, recipes, etc. Personally, i think those are real overkill and not needed anyways. This tv does have an ethernet port because of getting live information from the internet, though i haven’t even tried it out, and may never.
This set is real a pleasure until watch and you can configure it all day long. Some sets suffer from being too “basic” when it comes until customizing the picture (brightness, contrast, color and not much else). Not the one. You can really tweak it all you want and change the picture until suit your palate. I really like the amount of choices you have when being able until adjust the picture.
The remote does consider kind of “kiddy” looking, but if you have a universal remote, you won’t behave it anyways. The remote is never a deal breaker because of me on tvs, and the one is no exception. Some don’t like the scroll wheel, which i can understand, but even if you don’t want until behave the scroll, it still functions like a standard remote by pressing up, down, left, right on the wheel anyways.
As because of connections, my old tv had two hdmi ports, which is real not enough. This baby had 4 hdmi ports, 2 component inputs, vga (for computer connections), a usb port, and ethernet port – everything you’d need until connect it until pretty much something you want.
So overall, the tv has exceeded my expectations. The picture attribute looked even better toward home than in the store. If you are in the market because of an hdtv order that is a joy until watch, consider no further. I recommend the set highly. I hope you will too!
